Mint tulle skirt

Hey everyone ! How are you doing ? Today I want to show you an outfit with one of my favorite piece of clothing for this Spring/Summer: my mint midi tulle skirt !. As you probably know already, tulle skirts are a hot trend this year, and this gives us a chance to wear something so romantic and girly everyday. I must confess when I went out with this attire, I felt the admiration from kids staring at me in the streets, and it put me in a good mood, because after all we are all entitled to live our own fairytale, don't you think ? And dressing up like a princess can be a good start, LOL !.

The history of this tulle skirt is a bit long...I had been looking for a beautifully made tulle skirt for quite a long time. Shops in my area didn't have it, only one had a TopShop skirt that I didn't like and moreover I have been asked for 4 times more the price tag on TopShop site (as if I couldn't check online !). I could have tried sewing mine with a DIY but since I am a perfectionist and I am not good at sewing, I knew I would spend a lot of money and had a fugly skirt as outcome !.

I therefore started looking for my dream skirt online, but I found many skirts I did not like: only one veil of tulle, cheap looking, or dull colors. This, until when I found a lovely swedish website and as soon as I saw this mint skirt, I fell in love with it, I knew it was the right one (Carrie Bradshaw, it's all your fault ! SATC fans will understand)! I contacted lovely Kamila at Flique i Underjorden, a Malmo based shop that sells lovely and vintage inspired clothes, and she was so kind, I was so happy when she said I could order it from Italy, and in a few days I finally had my skirt ! I was so happy about my purchase because this skirt is really gorgeous and as "rich" in tulle as I wanted to, plus this color is fantastic ! If you want you can check out their Facebook Page for more info and see their beautiful pics !.

The perfect match to my tulle skirt was a lovely tee with a swan print I found at Rosé a Pois shop a while ago, the swan is in the same mint color as the skirt, plus the recall to Swans lake and a ballerina skirt is evident ! ;)

I had the chance to wear my yellow and green Sodini bijoux necklace, a present from my mum ! It's gorgeous and I added it to my Sodini collection, this Spring/Summer 2014 collection rocks so much !.

I thought about wearing a faux leather pale pink biker jacket on the skirt, it keeps the romantic feel with an edgy touch. I saw this no brand one in a little shop and I had to buy it asap !.

The shoes are a purchase I made at Icone showroom, they have a mixture of mint, coral and a touch of blue in a sort of python print effect. I love slingbacks (favorite shoe design for me) and with their delicate shape I think they look great under this skirt !.

If you feel like buying a veil skirt, I suggest you the midi lenght because it's less ballerina and it's more bon ton style, but if you feel like daring even more and especially for young girls, a mini lenght is also good. I like them in pastel colors and also in black, white color is the one I'd buy less just because it makes me think of a bride. Also, my advice is to go for a skirt with a few layers of veil, because only one is not enough (moreover, it would be transparent !).

This mint and blue bicolor bag is from Zara. It reminds me a lot of a Miu Miu collection, and it's a good low cost alternative to a bag that is beautiful and costs a lot of money. I would sure buy an expensive bag, but I'd get tired of such a shape pretty soon, so I went for the cheaper version. It is really well made and in spite of being small, it is not too small.

As I already told you, I think we should wear what makes us happy, in spite of trends. A tulle skirt is trendy right now, but I have been wanting to wear one for so much time, so I just caught the moment. Most of all, wearing it is a lot of fun. I want to wear it again also with Converse shoes, and maybe with biker boots, we'll see. How would you style it ?.

I felt at ease in my tulle skirt, probably also because I admit a part of me will never grow up, and I am proud of it ! :-)

Hello dearest Vale ♥, congrats to your wonderful tulle skirt and I'm sure not only the kids looked at you during you went on the street - every other persons, too, because you look simply wonderful in the complete look! Not even a princess could be better look than you <3 I understand your love for tulle skirts because I craved also for a long time for one and was so happy when I discovered last year my tulle skirt. I like further the shoes and the bag and the jacket and the shirt and the necklace ... everything you put here so well together! Wish you a wonderful start into the new week <3

Vale this looks stunning! I cant tell you enough how much I love that pale coral colour and mint styled together, they make for a beautiful combination. Makes me think of Lauree macarons or Italian ice cream :-) This is quite possibly one of my all time favorite blogger outfits x

HelloI love your whole look from top to bottom! The leather jacket in a rose color is so pretty and unique, so nice to see instead of the usual colors. The skirt is so pretty on you as well.
